A client for saving Instagram posts to Pinterest.

It is really simple to interact with the new developer API by using the Pinterest Javascript SDK. It provides shorthands for accessing endpoints, and more importantly, provides one-line solutions for oauth authentication with Pinterest.
PDK.login({ scope : PIN_SCOPE }, callback);
PDK.logout();The callback contains a session object that can also be accessed via PDK.getSession(). If a user is not authenticated, the function returns undefined. The scope is related to what kind of access your app would like (read_public, write_public, read_relationships, write_relationships). Scope is a comma-delimited list of requested types.
Here are the methods being used in this demo application:
| Code | Response | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PDK.login({ scope : PIN_SCOPE }, callback) | { accessToken } | Opens an oauth login popup |
| PDK.logout() | none | Deletes the session/cookie |
| PDK.request('/pins/', 'POST', data, callback) | { data: {id,link,note,url } | Creates a new pin object |
| PDK.me('boards', { fields: PIN_FIELDS }, callback) | { data: [board, ...] } | Fetches the current user's boards |
Here is code found directly in /src/js/util/pinterest.js of the demo app. They are clear examples of how to use the SDK to interact with the developer API.
/*
* Use SDK to create a new Pin
* @param {Object} data - {board, note, link, image_url}
* @param {Function} callback - function fired on completion
*/
createPin: function(data, callback) {
PDK.request('/pins/', 'POST', data, callback);
}/*
* Use SDK to request current users boards
* @param {Function} callback - function fired on completion
*/
myBoards: function(callback) {
PDK.me('boards', { fields: Const.PIN_FIELDS }, callback);
